Meditation for July

"He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights." ~ Psalm 18:33

I set this verse to a tune this evening so the sweet girl and I can sing it together. We're at the beginning of our third or fourth read through of Hinds' Feet on High Places (an adapted version for children). This lovely book about a character named "Much-Afraid" and the Chief Shepherd who leads her out of the valley of her fears and into the heights of the kingdom of love really seems to speak to my daughter's heart. It speaks to mine too. And so this is the verse on which we'll meditate this month.

Erin, it's really a lovely story. Heavy on the allegory (which is spelled out even more in the kid-friendly version, I suspect) but very well done. It's definitely where S. is "at" right now -- and I'm finding it's speaking to me very much too!

About Me

C.S. Lewis once wrote: "I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books." Although my list of influences would be slightly different, it would most likely end on the same note. I have been a bookworm all my life.
